Pacific Northwest Chess Center (PNWCC) was founded in 2018 by a group of local dedicated and like-minded people with the goal to promote the educational benefits of chess and improve the general playing conditions for players. We offer a variety of chess activities to help you learn, practice and improve. Please check our web site https://www.pnwchesscenter.org/ for details.
